## ReflectionMethod Modifiers

`ReflectionMethod::IS_STATIC` int

  Indicates that the method is static. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `1`.

`ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC` int

  Indicates that the method is public. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `256`.

`ReflectionMethod::IS_PROTECTED` int

  Indicates that the method is protected. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `512`.

`ReflectionMethod::IS_PRIVATE` int

  Indicates that the method is private. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `1024`.

`ReflectionMethod::IS_ABSTRACT` int

  Indicates that the method is abstract. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `2`.

`ReflectionMethod::IS_FINAL` int

  Indicates that the method is final. Prior to PHP 7.4.0, the value was `4`.

> Hinweis:

> The values of these constants may change between PHP versions. It is recommended to always use the constants and not rely on the values directly.

## Changelog
